Problem 10-4A Sell or process LO A1

Harold Manufacturing produces denim clothing. This year, it produced 5,120 denim jackets at a manufacturing cost of $42.00 each. These jackets were damaged in the warehouse during storage. Management investigated the matter and identified three alternatives for these jackets.

  1. Jackets can be sold to a secondhand clothing shop for $8.00 each.
  2. Jackets can be disassembled at a cost of $31,300 and sold to a recycler for $11.00 each.
  3. Jackets can be reworked and turned into good jackets. However, with the damage, management estimates it will be able to assemble the good parts of the 5,120 jackets into only 2,980 jackets. The remaining pieces of fabric will be discarded. The cost of reworking the jackets will be $101,800, but the jackets can then be sold for their regular price of $45.00 each.

Required:
1. Calculate the incremental income.

  1. Question 1:
    • Proficient-level:
      • Identify and describe the three basic forms of business organizations.
      • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each form of ownership?
  2. Question 2:
    • Proficient-level:
      • Identify the primary objectives of every business.
      • What are the four basic financial statements that measure the primary objectives of every business?
      • Describe what information each statement presents and which of the primary objective(s) can be met through the information presented on the statement.
  3. Question 3:
    • Proficient-level:
      • Identify the framework for the entire accounting process and describe its components and how they fit together to form this framework.
  4. Question 4:
    • Proficient-level:
      • To allow the accounting process to run smoothly, accountants must rely on a set of underlying concepts or assumptions. Identify and describe each of the five concepts or assumptions.
  5. Question 5:
    • Proficient-level:
      • Many accounting transactions will apply to one or more of the financial statements. In the case of the balance sheet, multiple account types can be affected. For each of the following items, provide an example of a transaction that would have the following effects on the items in a firm's financial statements. Provide five correct responses:
        • Increase an asset; decrease some other asset.
        • Increase an asset; increase a liability.
        • Decrease retained earnings; decrease an asset.
        • Increase an asset; increase retained earnings.
        • Decrease an asset; decrease a liability.
        • Increase a liability; decrease retained earnings.
  6. Question 6:
    • Proficient-level:
      • Consider this scenario. James Stevens was taking an accounting course at State University. Also, he was helping companies find accounting systems that would fit their information needs. He advised one of his clients to acquire a software computer package that could record business transactions and prepare financial statements. The licensing agreement with the software company specified that the basic charge for one site was USD 4,000 and that USD 1,000 must be paid for each additional site where the software was used. James was pleased that his recommendation to acquire the software was followed. However, he was upset that management wanted him to install the software at eight other sites in the company and did not intend to pay the extra USD 8,000 due the software company. A member of management stated, "The software company will never know the difference and, besides, everyone else seems to be pirating software. If they do find out, we will pay the extra fee at that time. Our expenses are high enough without paying these unnecessary costs." James believed he might lose this client if he did not do as management instructed. Discuss whether you believe this is an ethical violation.
